Let us entertain you again :October 3rd 2015

Citys' third match of the 2015-2016 season saw a comprehensive win over Colyton Redsocks who had been promoted themselves last season along with neighbours United.The smiles around the camp after the final whistle certainly had more than just the warm sunshine of the Indian summer as a reason to celebrate.

Colyton kicked off but City were quickly into their stride showing midfield tenacity, moving the ball around pleasingly and from a quick break,Alfie made it 1-0 within two minutes,drilling the ball into the net from the right hand side. 

Three minutes later saw the first City corner, which Will P sent over. This led immediately to a second corner following a goalmouth scramble, Will P repeating the medicine. A third, fourth and fifth corner followed for City over the next quarter hour with both Alfie and Will A going close. Tom D had two shots well saved but the fifth corner was taken before the ref had blown the whistle. In a deja vu moment,the resulting headed goal was not a goal. Fortunately Dan amended this, making it 2-0 shortly afterwards.

Despite the defence not being tested, Cameron , Charlie and Dylan, remained solid and well focused. Against the run of play the visitors got a goal back with their first attempt. It was to Citys’ credit that only a couple more serious assaults were made on Noahs’ goal. It was 25 minutes before Colyton forced their first corner but by then Alfie had made it 3-1, with a fine distance effort, and the Colyton defence were being tormented by Joe’s trickery down the right wing. The half ended with two highlights: a lovely sweeping pass showing great vision by Will P which deserved better fortune, then a magnificent individual effort by Ewan to make the half time score 4-1.

The second half saw City repeat the prescription with three further goals. Will A ran from the half way line to get on the end of a break by Alfie, Tom D made it six from outside the box and Charlie completed the rout from the penalty spot. City even had the luxury of missing several chances and could have joined the double figure scores of some of the U13 Division 1 elite seen this season.

Man of the match was Noah for several quality saves between the sticks without which,definitely would have seen the match score closer.

Mums and Dads can celebrate the best result in recent City history with a glass of champagne. Boys, you will have to stick to lemonade- we suggest the brand “SEVEN-UP”
